About This Image:

Sometimes I learn as much about a city after the fact as I do when I visit. So often, when I’m there, I’m simply exploring and after the fact I look for the stories behind the places I saw. On the winter days that I stood on O’Connell Street outside Clerys Department Store, for instance, I had no idea how long it had been there. Nor did I know that the clock on the front of Clerys is long known as a rendezvous spot for Dubliners and visitors to the city from nearby.

The original Clerys opened on what is now O’Connell Street in 1853. The original building was lost in the 1916 Easter Rising but was re-built and re-opened in 1922. So, Dubliners have been meeting up outside Clerys for generations. And although I didn’t meet anyone there, I shopped inside Clerys and spent quite a lot of time wandering on O’Connell Street. I loved the classic architecture and how the sun shone so brightly up that wide boulevard on winter mornings. At least that was the case when there was sun! And that is a common Irish lament for any season so I understand.

This particular Dublin artwork is based off photos from one of my last mornings in Dublin. The sunlight that day was particularly strong and every inch of the street seemed to shine. And even if I didn’t know the story of Clerys, I simply loved the architecture. There’s something about the era when department stores were a new thing and built with a grand flourish. Compared to the strip malls of today… well, there’s really no comparison is there? These were the palaces of their era!

Have you met someone under Clerys Clock on O’Connell Street? Perhaps you call Dublin home or you had an Irish adventure like I did? Or do you simply love the grand style of the architecture? I hope you might take a moment to share what you find most striking about this particular print? I’d love to hear it!

I love my “Toomers Drugstore” and “Auburn Supper Club” prints from Mark. He does an amazing job and every painting has detail and awesome colors. His Auburn prints are a must have for fans that love Auburn as much as I do!

Just wanted to let you know, for Christmas, my sister got me a GIANT photo from you of the mountains and sheep in Connemara (Ireland). It is really beautiful and I love it. Gotta have it matted and framed next.

He loved it!

I just dropped it off at the framing shop on Friday and had a look at it…. it’s absolutely beautiful. I purchased it to replace a painting of Paris and to be honest the way that you have captured Dublin on the river at night makes it look more beautiful than Paris. Beautiful photo, you are very talented.

I took the photograph of the house to be framed and the young lady who helped me choose the mats and frame was so taken with the photography that she asked for your name so she could see more on the web.

If you hear from an Erica I want a commission!

I ordered a framed print of the Macon County Clinic and Nurses house . My mother… worked there from 1956 until the clinic closed. Now 80 and retired for many years , she often talks about the many people she remembers from those days, My brother and myself were all born and treated there by Dr. Fred and Dr. Tom. We thought the framed picture would be something she would get great joy from and probably stir a few memories. It is a beautiful artwork and looking forward to seeing her face when she gets this gift on Christmas. Thanks for the Great GIFT!!
